Through the ages, man has either sought to understand or destroy God for lack of understanding who God is. Some call the knowledge of God a mystery, that which can only be grasped by great or educated minds.
Today, we have thousands of ancient manuscripts leaving signs, including the bible. There is a myriad of recorded testimony that paints many pictures.
Yet scholars, theologians, and historians of every culture and religion argue as to their meaning and relevance.
You may wonder how, if the professionals cannot agree, you are expected to make sense of it all?
In Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World, Chariss Walker uses liberal biblical references to explain Spiritual Laws, their relevance in your life, and how to put them to practical use without destroying your current convictions.
Terminology is irrelevant. God wants what you want.
When you understand this, you will Make Your Own Joyful Noise!

Here is what readers and reviewers are saying about my book:
- Incorporating mystic concepts from various world religions with Christianity, this book offers inspiration for Christians seeking happiness and spiritual growth. In a friendly, conversational tone, Walker presents the concept of spiritual laws— divine edicts governing the universe that exist in every religion, culture and society. Understanding and utilizing these laws, the author promises, will help readers achieve their goals and fulfill God’s higher purpose. Interspersed with biblical references, modern-day parables, positive affirmations and quotations from famous historical figures, the book explains the usefulness of spiritual laws in personal endeavors, and how they lead to a meaningful life. The book takes a feel-good stance, placing great emphasis on loving oneself, reexamining one’s life goals and the importance of a positive attitude...The third portion of the book, a “toolkit” for spiritual growth, gives details on practicing the spiritual laws, covering such metaphysical topics as reiki, shamanism, angels, auras, dream interpretation, meditation and the power of prayer ... ~~ The Kirkus Review
- Read this one twice! I got the information the first time, but I felt it the second. Coming from the most critical of enlightenment literature, Make a Joyful Noise is so real and easy to understand; its simplicity is what sets it apart -- making this book a shark in the fishpond syndrome." ~~ Mike Simmons, a reader
- What I liked most about this book is the way it is written. While reading it is as if you are having a conversation with a trusted friend or advisor. In each chapter you may also discover something about yourself. What are your motivations when you make a request in prayer? I had never thought about the motivations behind the request but now that I understand how to pray more effectively I will definitely use the new information to see my prayers answered in new ways. There is also a great discussion about how your spoken words and thoughts can powerfully affect your life for the better. Your thoughts literally become your reality. This book will not only put you on a more spiritual path, it will help you realize your dreams. (Click here to read the full review.) ~~ The Rebecca Review -- Amazon.com
- Chariss Walker's new book, Make a Joyful Noise , is aptly described in the subtitle: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World: A Book of Hope. Ms. Walker's goal is clearly to help individuals sail a straighter course through today's seas of spiritual confusion and improve their lives. While Make a Joyful Noise has a very strong Deist and Christian focus and relies heavily upon biblical wisdom and direction, Walker does make an effort to be as inclusive as possible within those parameters, and stresses at several points in the text the need to respect the faith of others. As it says on the jacket: "Chariss Walker uses liberal Biblical references to explain Spiritual Laws, their relevance in your life and how to put them into practical use without destroying your present convictions." She is also spiritually eclectic in her selection of fine quotes throughout the book, including for example, snippets of Zen Buddhist wisdom, and a quote from the Bhagavad-Gita.
Distilling the wisdom of the ages into an easy to understand self-help book on spiritual growth is an extraordinarily ambitious task, and that makes it interesting to see how she goes about it. And Ms. Walker does take an interesting approach, marshaling her personal beliefs to shape and buttress the text, but also striving to be inclusive and allow for some imaginative flexibility as she strives to create a book which will appeal to those whose faiths may differ subtly or substantially from her own.
She proceeds toward by this goal by identifying herself and her prospective readers as "seekers," and by laying out a series of Spiritual Laws which each seeker is invited to follow. These laws, each encompassing a mini-chapter, include the laws of Oneness, Vibration, Attraction, Polarity, Action, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, Asking and Receiving, Increase, Compensation, Transmutation, Relativity, Reciprocation, and Forgiveness. These laws, she believes, are anchored in science and natural law as well as God's will. The laws are supplemented with examples from real life and a large number of intriguing quotes. After describing the laws and the principles behind them, she provides seekers with a toolkit for moving forward. The tools include: Prayer, Meditation, Thanksgiving, Praise, Affirmations, Visualization, Dreams, Miracles, Light of The World, and Angels.
This book is worth reading just for the rich treasury of quotes it contains. In addition to many passages from the Bible, Ms. Walker cites diverse religious texts as well as a huge array of quotes from an amazing assortment of individuals, including: Aristotle, James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Albert Einstein, Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham and Pliny the Elder. Joyful Noise concludes with two appendices: one containing a glossary of terms and one containing a list of recommended reading. Finally a set of endnotes provides a profusion of web links for those who would like to pursue some of these topics on the internet.
Individuals, especially Christians, interested in seeking a clearer path to spiritual growth are sure to enjoy this thoughtful and serious book. ~~ TheBookReview.com
- Subject: An insigthful work illuminating the confusion surrounding God and different religions, and how these contradictions can be reconciled without sacrificing current convictions. Biblical passages are aligned with Spiritual Laws. The methodology is to provide a syngery of fresh insight allowing for life enhancing practical application in everyday living. Noteworthy: The book explains the necessary steps to take for understanding Spiritual Laws. Next, readers are privy to an intelligent, understandable explanation of 14 laws. Part three explains how to apply these laws to create a more rewarding life. The work is rare and noteworthy in that it explains deep principals in a way anyone can understand, and apply to "Make Your Own Joyful Noise." ~~ Lightword Publishing
